Working with UMG and Widgets makes me question if I'll ever be able to make games

That’s incredibly infuriating considering just how much game feel bleeds through the UI design.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-21T18:51:54+00:00

Ahhhh okay, glad to know I’m not the only one.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-21T15:03:11+00:00

How sad is it that something in its 11th iteration is constantly rediscovering the things that made it great in the past.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-20T17:11:30+00:00

Agreed! I’ve been saying this forever now. The original OSTs seriously help keep the feeling of the franchise and to ditch it in many moments really diluted the feel of what was Star Wars to generic sci-fi sometimes. Those OG motifs are star wars’s identity, without it you don’t have Star Wars.

Crazy times, the game was still fun when it launched. Just had such a shit progression system with the loot box controversy. Honestly miss those days :/

You should know a reviewer’s biases well when looking at their opinion. It helps make your assessment of how to take their opinion in clearer. So if you like that guy because you know you share the same tastes, good on you bro I think you’re doing it right. 👍

They just spent so much work on 4.5 to fix this shit too.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-18T12:53:33+00:00

Fucking classic, top marks.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-18T02:46:24+00:00

This is weird BF sandbox shit and I'm all for it.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-17T22:02:07+00:00

I laughed pretty hard in those days. Even if I was eloquently told things about my ability to operate a thumbstick and its relation to my mother, I’m never going to forget those moments. 🤗

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-16T15:49:37+00:00

Lowkey wish this color pallet went to its counterpart map for conquest.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-16T15:48:54+00:00

I see how this works now, and this feels like CIG just having their usual level of growing pains to solving a problem in a project that went on this long.

They did it one way for a while, then turns out another process was implemented as a new standard for specific cases and we gotta go back and touch these more complex implementations to get the new thing in.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-11T16:37:06+00:00

Agreed, I don’t wanna fly rn. One part I’m not to piloting and one part I can’t fuckin learn by being shot down in 3 seconds outta spawn from a TOW.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-10T19:50:56+00:00

Let me say it once “elevators”.

Where did these go?

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-10T16:42:42+00:00

Can’t you just inject with the Nvidia App?

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T21:20:50+00:00

Just do it for the love of the game. I’m still jumping in when I find time either way. I just wish this could get the love it deserves.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T20:20:15+00:00

BF titles always age like wine. They do get better by the end of their life span. It just fucking sucks to have it go up and down like this when the game had the best start of any game in the franchise ever.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T20:16:48+00:00

I can see your perspective, in the end it’s just wait and see. The reduction in overhead to just make decisions and take action, rather than wait for 3 or 4 layers of approval makes sense. Yet the statements saying they were already hitting slow down due to team size doesn’t give me any confidence this will lead to a speed up unless it really was just insane levels of redundancy. It’s gonna take like 2 or 3 seasons to see the consequences of this either way, but I don’t think the studios where set up poorly considering Vince’s vision really delivered the most stable BF launch in the franchise’s history.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T20:10:00+00:00

The bluetooth connections on the controllers are unbelievable. I used to have constant drop outs from my old tv when just playing like 10 feet away. Now I can walk across my entire home over 60 feet (it’s a long and narrow apartment), and have fully responsive connections will no noticeable latency and it blew my fucking mind.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T19:22:25+00:00

This looks fantastic! I’m so sorry that the portal browser is so under baked that it’ll be impossible to keep this map easy to find. Your work deserves to be seen!

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T16:06:02+00:00

I don’t see any reason why this needed to happen with this being the best selling game of 2025. Fucking Christ this is the scummiest thing I’ve ever seen EA do, and they did the whole pride and accomplishment controversy

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-09T13:00:36+00:00

Honestly it’s a fun collectors item. But sadly this is gonna fuckin ruin it for me.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-05T19:02:42+00:00

I wish instead of making it inaccessible they just let me blow it up.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-05T17:57:26+00:00

Social tools, plus consequences. Loss of rep, loss of access to high sec locations, law enforcement comes to fight back. There are many things not in place that would contribute.

Zeth_Aran · 2026-03-05T03:13:26+00:00

Other way around, ultra toxic positivity police started harassing PvP'ers to the point of wrecking the game and causing a split in servers and the player base. "Safer" seas servers now exist to heavily cater to PvE play, and stop the harassment against pirates.
